Monthly Horoscope August 2025
By Michelle Sareen, a.k.a. Devika Meera
The following horoscopes are given based on traditional Vedic sign calculations and not the Western sun-sign. These should be read according to your rising sign (Lagna) or Moon sign in the Vedic Sidereal Zodiac.
Aries (March 21–April 19):
If your heart and karmic actions are in the right place, Aries, unexpected blessings of prosperity will come during the first 3 weeks of this month. Donate part of your unexpected gains. Karmic planetary transits demand this for the next year or more. Love and blessings come through family values and eating healthy. After August 23rd, give special attention to home, mothers and kids. Playing with children in order to keep them safe is a great way to channel the strong Mars energy. Keep the peace with romantic partners by engaging in fun sports together. Courage and strength will be on your side later in the month.
Taurus (April 20–May 20):
Beauty and love are prominent for you, Taurus, but these days, you might be inclined to think outside the box. Your recent style change can surprise those who know you well. But be sure to embrace the new you. Due to retrograde transits, career and salary issues might have to be revisited. Be extra cautious and analytical with paperwork through the entire month, especially if you are inclined to move or change residence. Expenses might occur in the realm of real estate and vehicles. Taking extra care of your mother, mother figures, or even taking care of cows is a good karmic remedy for you these days.
Gemini (May 21–June 20):
Expansive Jupiter is transiting in your ascendant sign, Gemini, lighting up your mind with thoughts of children, partnership, and spirituality. Be careful not to overeat in temples and at ritual ceremonies for the next year, as Rahu is sitting in your 9th house. These two transits could cause you to gain weight in the long term. In the short term, make sure you eat only healthy, properly cooked food. You are likely to overspend on luxuries before the August 23rd New Moon. Generosity with neighbors and siblings is a good karmic remedy for you these days and will help you to avoid conflicts with them.
Cancer (June 21–July 22):
You have a lot on your mind this whole month, Cancerian, and you might feel pressure from people close to you. Mercury starts out retrograde in your ascendant, and Mars is transiting your 3rd house of communication. So, it’s super important to be careful in matters of driving and speech. Be cautious and kind with your words. Take advantage of this period while health regimens will be extra effective for your general well-being. Mercury and Saturn are both retrograde, so you might need to restructure your plans, especially those related to institutions and faraway places. It’s okay and natural to change your mind, especially until mid-August.
Leo (July 23–August 22):
Using the talents that come from your hobbies will benefit your professional life, Leo. With Venus in your 10th house, conjunct Uranus, you are bound to think outside the box. Channel this unconventional inclination in a constructive way, rather than expressing blind rebellion. Bring flowers to your job or to an authority figure. Unexpected gains are coming, but the process might require working extra hard. Consider that a remedy. Your feelings of inner conflict and self-sacrifice will soon subside as Mars moves out of your ascendant sign. For the next year or so, it’s a good idea to focus on non-material things, like spirituality and general health.
Virgo (August 23–September 22):
Your recent sacrifices and helping others have probably been difficult and draining, Virgo, but they are a karmic necessity for you at this time. Flowing with it will make it easier. Service with a smile is your remedy. You are a natural healer. Rewards and expansion of your career are bound to become apparent and manifest soon if they haven’t already. Gratitude and spiritual practice are key to feeling fulfilled. Long-time wishes can be fulfilled, as long as you show up for the service and work that the Universe requests of you. Mars is moving to your first house, so take extra care when driving. Don’t speed.
Libra (September 23–October 22):
You’re probably experiencing pressure from parents or authority figures, Libra. But that should ease up after the new moon on August 23rd, when Venus and Mercury come to lighten things up in your 10th house. Try to mitigate risks in your 5th house matters, which have to do with children, romance, and speculative income. Rahu is there for about one more year. It is safer to channel the creative energy by thinking outside the box and engaging in artful activities. Sing, dance, paint, draw, or play a musical instrument to improve the results of this transit. Donating to schools and temples is especially good karma these days.
Scorpio (October 23–November 21):
It’s time to do some soul-searching, dear Scorpio, as lately, you might be experiencing your tendency to self-sabotage. This happens when you are in autopilot mode instead of taking wakeful, deliberate actions. I recommend journaling. Keep your journal private. In writing, reflect on what is not working for you in your life. Ask yourself how you subconsciously act against your own best interest. Mercury and Venus will visit your 9th house of higher wisdom in August. This is the perfect opportunity for spiritual growth and inner reflection, especially after the August 23rd new moon. Practicing this will give you more peace, and things will naturally get better.
Sagittarius (November 22–December 21):
You might find that your attention is overly focused on relationships these days, Sagittarius, but channeling energy in the following areas might help to balance things out for you. In case your neighbors or siblings are asking a lot from you, or if you are expecting a lot from them, err on the side of generosity. Taking a generous stance with them will work as a karmic remedy for you at this time… whatever the issue is. Extra housecleaning will ease Saturn’s demands on your 4th house. Pay attention to those things you might normally neglect. Postpone long-distance trips if possible and donate to a temple.
Capricorn (December 22–January 19):
Venus is lighting up your house of romance and creativity these days, Capricorn. If you’re married, you could spice things up a bit by courting your partner the way you used to when you first got together. If you’re single, you have a nice window of opportunity to find romance. Venus brings beauty and luxury too. So invite this energy by dressing well and helping women. In case of excessive visits from your relatives and in-laws, couples should gently and politely make space for your privacy. Being kind and generous to family and helping out neighbors and siblings is a good remedy for the current planetary transits.
Aquarius (January 20–February 18):
The best way to remedy the conflicts in your house of partnership, Aquarius, is to engage in safe sports or fun competitive games with your partner. This is a fun and positive way to channel the energy of Mars in your 7th house. Since Ketu is there too, practice meditation together or separately. This will allow Ketu to express itself in the most positive and helpful way. Jupiter wants to expand your house of romance, creativity, and possibly children. Remain patient with relatives when handling issues of family assets. Honesty is of utmost importance. Bring flowers home for yourself and for sick people later in the month.
Pisces (February 19–March 20):
I know it’s not easy for you these days, Pisces, as Saturn is transiting your ascendant sign. So, it’s important to keep your mind in the most positive state with uplifting input. Gratitude affirmations will definitely help. I suggest 108 affirmations of gratitude every night, just before sleep. Keep conversations positive and kind. Gentle yoga and walking could be highly beneficial. Use your talents to decorate your home. Include symbols of spiritual wisdom like an inspirational book or a picture of your favorite teacher or Guruji. Prepare your home for visitors. Be humble in your attitude, especially to hard-working people who are in the service of others.
